Rolling the dice

It’s difficult to begin an article about the need for Critical Illness (CI) without showing an alarming statistic about the incidence of serious or life-threatening illness among Canadians. The reason? Statistics tend to be accepted as FACT and, at least to some degree, resistant to emotional arguments. In the case of Critical Illness or other kinds of insurance coverage, statistics should help to rebalance our personal opinions about whether or not we’ll face a serious illness in our lifetime or require insurance protection.
